Abstract
In this work, we describe an electrochemical method using p-chloranil as a mediator and multi-wall carbon nanotube and TiO2 as sensors for sensitive determination of epinephrine (EP) in aqueous solution at pH = 10.0. It has been found that under optimum condition (pH 10.0) in cyclic voltammetry, the oxidation of EP occurred at a potential about 171 mV less positive than that unmodified carbon nanotube paste electrode. The diffusion coefficient (D) and the kinetic parameters, such as electron transfer coefficient, (α) and heterogeneous rate constant (k h) for EP were also determined using electrochemical approaches. The electrocatalytic currents increase linearly with the EP concentration over the range 0.6–135 μM. The detection limits for EP will be equal to 0.25 μM. The relative standard deviation percentage values for 10.0 and 15.0 μM EP were 1.7% and 1.9%, respectively. Finally, this modified electrode was also examined as a selective, simple, and precise new electrochemical sensor for the determination of EP in real sample such as urine and epinephrine injection solution.
